<p>TEL AVIV, Israel (Ma&#8217;an) &#8212; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Thursday with members of his government in a meeting during which it was decided to refuse negotiations with any Palestinian government that includes Hamas, Israeli news reports said.</p>
<p>Defense Minister Ehud Barak held a number of consultations on the issue before making the decision not to deal with a unity government, which was declared Wednesday in Cairo, the Israeli news site Ynet reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the situation changes and Hamas alters its ways and recognizes Israel, then we&#8217;ll see,&#8221; a political source told Ynet. &#8220;There will be no talks or negotiations with the Palestinians until the picture becomes clearer.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Palestinian unity deal crossed &#8220;a red line,&#8221; Israel&#8217;s settler Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Thursday, warning that an array of measures could be taken against the Palestinian Authority.</p>
<p>&#8220;With this accord, a red line has been crossed,&#8221; the ultra-nationalist foreign minister told Israel&#8217;s military radio a day after the Palestinian parties announced a surprise reconciliation agreement.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have at our disposal a vast arsenal of measures including the lifting of VIP status for Abu Mazen and Salam Fayyad, which will not allow them to move freely,&#8221; he said referring to President Mahmoud Abbas and his caretaker prime minister.</p>
<p>&#8220;We could also freeze the transfer of taxes collected by Israel for the Palestinian Authority,&#8221; added Lieberman, who leads the Israel Beitenu party in the coalition of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.</p>
<p>After 18 months of largely fruitless reconciliation talks, delegations from Hamas and Fatah meeting in Cairo on Wednesday announced a deal to form an interim unity government of technocrats with a view to holding presidential and legislative elections within a year.</p>
<p>The deal raises the prospect of an end to the devastating political divide that has seen the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority govern the West Bank while the Islamist Hamas movement control the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>The move would strengthen Palestinian bids for independence as a unified government, depending on the outcome of elections.</p>
